Looking to install Immich, BitDefender Password Manager and YouTube downloader on the NAS this week.
Total noob to Docker (desktop for windows) and I'm just trying to figure out how (and where) to add a config to my Navidrome image or change lines on the image itself, to point it to my music library and create admin login credentials (ಥ﹏ಥ) If I can accomplish that then I eventually want to try Immich or NextCloud afterward.
I want to switch to Linux but I'm not sure where to start! I want to
I don't know if any of those factors impose restrictions due to software/hardware differences (or if that even makes a difference), but I want to move over everything I can into a linux environment
Migrating from proxmox to incus, continued.
Lots of fun, actually!
What's your motivation for the switch? Second time in a short while I've heard about people migrating to incus.
I've moved to all containers and I'm gradually automating everything. The metaphor for orchestration and provisioning is much clearer in incus than it was in lxd, and makes way more sense than proxmox.
Proxmox is fine, I've used it for going on 8 years now, I'm still using it, in fact. But it's geared toward a "safe" view of abstraction that makes lxc containers seem like virtual machines, and they absolutely aren't, they are much, much more flexible and powerful than vms.
There are also really annoying deficiencies in proxmox that I've taken for granted for a long time as well:
Ultimately, I have more flexibility with a vanilla bookworm install with incus.
Thanks a lot for your response! I too was a bit misguided by the way Proxmox presents LXCs but I'm mostly on VMs and haven't explored LXCs further so far.
I spent two hours last night beating myself over the head with RAM sticks. Got an ewasted server that had the alarm misconfigured, figured I'd upgrade it and put in a valid configuration since it was just off my size. Slapped in some matching size sticks and it wouldn't boot. It took my embarrassingly long to realize that the speeds werent the same and that the server really cared about the speeds being the same, more than it cared about sizes being the same incidentally.
I work in IT that should have been the first fuckin thing I checked smh
Currently trying to step up my game bv setting up kubernetes. Cluster is running, but I am really struggling getting the combination domain name, let's encrypt and traefik, but without a cloud load balancer, to work. I feel like I went through most tutorials available, but it seems each one is missing a crucial part. Gonna invest some more hours today...
Without supported loadbalancer Kubernetes is no fun / not doable in my opinion.
For Hetzner for example, there are some recipes to be found to use an LB and also volumes.
I've stepped back to docker compose with a traefik proxy which takes labels from the containers to decide where to route what.
Highly recommended!
